Hi-de-Hi star Felix Bowness has died, his family confirmed today.

The actor, who played ex-jockey Fred Quilley in the Eighties comedy series, passed away at the age of 87.
His generally unhappy character was in charge of the horses at holiday camp Maplin's, where he was famous for his run-ins with the management.

The veteran comic, who began his career in the 1960s as an extra in the Benny Hill Show, also appeared in television comedies including You Rang, M'Lord? and Oh, Doctor Beeching!
The Berkshire-born star was also a warm-up act for Sir Terry Wogan's 1980s BBC1 chat show, as well as The Two Ronnies and Morecambe And Wise.
Mr Bowness, who appeared in all 58 episodes of Hi-de-Hi, was an integral part of the ensemble cast, which also starred Su Pollard.
My Thought and Prayers go to the Family at this sad time.
